Hello Marty and all newbies- yes please do pitch right in and get to know us[tchmile].

Hi Marty I too am a newbie, been a granny or nana as we prefer to be called in the north east of England. I too have friends in the USA from Texas with whom I take a walking holiday once a year usually doing about 10 miles a day, so I'm not ready for local older people clubs either.

Welcome to all newbies! Don't be shy - please join in on any threads that grab your attention!

Hi everyone. I am originally from Nottinghamshire but lived in Cheshire for many years bringing up family and now have moved to Australia to be near my daughter and family, although not sure if we are going to stay here. I was glad to find this forum. There are thins going on for older people here but it's mostly senior citizens centres etc which we really don't feel ready for yet! I'm with Marty1937!

This is the second newbie from the USA recently. But then we sont seem to hear from them again.
I wonder why?

Welcome Marty - I just joined this week and am still finding my way around but there is lots going on. And no-one here is old - just experienced.

Hello! I have cousins over there, as does my OH, and we love to laugh at each other's countries strange little ways and foibles with each other.

Welcome. I was a newbie, but several seemed to have joined since me, so I am off the newbie bench!
